I've never been so kiasu in my life, well, at least, as far as I can remember. This morning, before setting off for school, I reminded Jean to bring along her entry proof (I nearly forgot mine was sitting on my table until I happened to see it). She wasn't old and ageing like me, so she already remembered. Then she reminded me to bring 2 pencils. I laughed it off at first but changed my mind soon after because I feared Murphy's Law would start acting up. But come to think of it, I only shaded 10 tiny ovals, and it didn't even make my lead 0.5mm shorter than its original length. What's worse, I didn't even get the chance to use that pencil. I bet Jean didn't either.

LC turned out to be pretty alright. Vivienne and I were having our routine panicking. After comparing my answers from a few sources, I think I got 90% right, which is my modal score. Jean started lamenting about how she got the first question wrong when she /nearly/ got it right. Ah well, at least we're even for now.

I enjoyed the music before the exam started. Popular Classics was on, and true enough, I could name almost all the pieces played. I also felt happy when they mentioned Vivaldi being known as the "Red-haired priest" during one of the musical bites. There was some sense of achievement because I learnt that during music last year and it managed to be retained in my long-term memory. But I doubt they'll test that for O level anyway. Like how they don't test if we know that Tchaikovsky was gay, Haydn and Mozart playing around with other women, or Brahms "stealing" Robert Schumann's wife.

The solar eclipse today was barely noticeable. If not for the sudden uproar in the classroom block, I would have forgotten all about the special occassion. But too bad, the whole class was stuck inside doing the New South Wales paper while other levels got to scramble outside and take a look. Even Mdm Y ran out but claimed that she was only trying to see why it was so noisy. Haha.. But I don't think they got to see much, especially with rain and cloudy skies.

No violin lesson today. Yay! I should be getting to work now. It's highly unsual of me to get on the com before I'm done with my work. But since I'm done with Chinese for a while, I deserve this moment. On the bright side, I have bubble tea to look forward to when the dear Jean comes back home.
